UQTR Patriotes get Matthieu Thériault, who was the Gee Gee's second best scorer last year. Of course, because of the situation in Ottawa, he won't have to skip a year.

Patriotes' coach Marc-Étienne Hubert said that all verifications were made to make sure he wasn't involved in the scandal.

as in ex oilers draft pick olivier roy? what would his eligibility be?

Olivier (born July-1991) turned 21 in July 2012. He could have played pro that Fall and transferred to the CIS at Christmas without penalty (the 2012/13 season).

He played pro the entire season (2012/13) and again the next season (2013/14). He will lose 1 year of eligibility for each of these seasons. This leaves him with 3 years of eligibility.

Also - he has to sit-out 365 from his last professional game which was late May 2014 so he will have to sit the entire 2014/15 season and will be eligible to play in the 2015/16 season.

He looks to be a great pick-up if he can recover from his injury he sustained in the ECHL Semi-finals last sprint with Alaska.

Probably not. They ignored oodles of players for lesser players from the BCHL. This was so pronounced in the WCC and RBC.

The BCHL rosters are made up in part by a large percentage of american born players, this helps explain why NCAA schools pay a lot of attention to the league. Many of these americans arrive with scholarships before playing a game in Canada and while the school scouts are keeping tabs of their recruits they get to see others more often than the rest of CJHL. With the improvement of the USHL fewer top americans are coming to the BCHL resulting in it's decline from the top of the Canadian JrA leagues.

Great pick up for the Patriotes. Congratulations to Matthieu, it is good to see him move on from the circus in Ottawa.

Another reason for me to follow UQTR this season!!

This is one of those situations where it is hard to say which caused what. BCHL teams operate in larger centres that are still to small for the WHL. So they recruit more, including from the States.

The USHL has been somewhere between Junior A and Major Junior for a while now, probably for longer than the BCHL has been a scout's favourite.

Unlike years past the NCAA is now committing scholarships to american high school players. The best are being placed with USHL and NAHL teams following completion of high school. A few years ago the americans would come to the BCHL and complete high school in Canada hoping to earn scholarships. This new pattern of scooping up the best players prior to them gaining any Jr experience has slowed the import of americans to a trickle for the BCHL compared to what it used to be. Don't be mislead by the fact that several BCHL teams are in larger centres, they are barely averaging 500 fans a game for teams in the Vancouver area.

Yeah, that is definitely a tough loss for Moncton. They haven't recruited big this offseason either.

Agree - Eric was a workhorse for them - fast and tough with great hands. He was 5th in league scoring with 39pts (tops for Moncton), but they still have the Saulnier brothers. Build a good PP around those two and a good D-man and they may still contend. Allain Saulnier had 5 PPG's last year and the team's PP% was 19.2% (2nd behind Acadia at 22.7).

Specialty teams are the key in the AUS - PPG's account for 25% of each team's total goals scored. You have to have a good PP to contend. (eg. UNB's PP dried up in their series against SMU - 1 for 17 I think and it was the difference in the series)

McGill second best offensive d-man last year, Samuel Carrier, leaves the team for LNAH.

Fortunately for the Redmen, they got three d-men in their recruting class, cause they're losing Carrier and Ryan McKiernan.
